A COMPLETE BREAKDOWN OF MY MOMENTUM DAY TRADING PROCESS.
[THREAD]
A process requires an edge which is simply a statistical advantage you have over other players. A strong psychological state can be considered a bonus edge.
1) Knowledge and idea generation
2) Method and trade execution
3) Risk management and mindset
Each element is necessary and it builds a solid foundation in your trading process.
These factors make up the trading trinity.
In PM, I look for:
- Top gainers (40%+)
- Notable volume on gappers
- News or catalysts (to justify gap)
- Float (<50M)
- Market cap (<500M)
- Range (check daily)
- Price (<25)
- Stock personality (check daily)
- Filings (cash on hand and offering potential)

I hone in on my top 2.
Also, I have any names that have had momentum and held trend in the prior days as back burner watches since they may see continuation.
I want to identify:
- Prior ranges (since I believe stocks will trade in ranges until they breakout/down)
- Key levels from the daily
- PML and PMH
Also, I take note of the trend and the 50 and 200 SMA.
INDICATORS:
- 9 EMA = Red
- 20 EMA = Light Blue
- 50 SMA = Yellow
- 200 SMA = Green
- VWAP = Purple
- Volume Bars
TIME FRAMES:
- 5 Minute
- 1 Minute
- 1 Day

I prefer to dip buy most of the time because breakout trades require a certain market condition.
I try add as close to major key levels as possible for low risk/high reward.

When it comes down to a channel line or key level. I look to see if price respects that level for an entry with risk just beneath.
I don’t breakout add unless the market is hot. I would rather for a breakout and re-test and get my adds there.
I flick between the 1m and 5m and I mainly watch candle bodies.

Seasonal strategies are simply strategies that are high probability given the current market conditions.
*I go through and explain some strategies in my pinned tweet.
I constantly assess sentiment and I always ask myself: “Who’s in control and who’s stuck?”.
This helps me better understand the price action.
I love asymmetrical bets where risk/reward and probability is skewed heavily in my favor.
I have a max pain of 10% on a trade and I will risk <2.5% of my account on a trade.

You can calculate position size by:
Max risk / (Entry price - Stop price) = Position size
I believe these levels to be potential pivot points so I’m really strict at cutting my losses because if I carry on holding then price is likely to flush.
I don’t hold bags!
Either I will:
1) Scale most (50%+) on the first target and move my stop to entry
2) Let the stock work and only scale out small amounts (~10%) at key resistances and ride the trend based on the 20 EMA on the 5m
However, I take note of runners that remain strong and AH movers depending on their action and their close.
I will chart these names when market closes. I keep them on back burner watch the next day.
It’s what I find consistency, repeatability and profitability in.
It works for me but it may not work for you.
You can take this thread as a guideline and adapt it to fit your way of trading.
Ideally, I want an ADR% of 10+ because I’m interested in explosive momentum moves.
Also, you always want to keep an eye on volume. You don’t want volume to fall off a cliff for a trade you’re in.
Keep things simple and be able to do them time and time again with ease.
There’s no need to make things complex and sophisticated when they don’t need to be.
It’s better to have something straightforward where you just need to execute well.
In many ways, my strategy is inspired and derived from their own.

4. Then manually select the stocks which are going to give all time high BO or 52 high BO or already given.
5. U can also select those stocks which are going to give range breakout or already given range BO
6 . If in 15 min chart📊 any stock sustaing near BO zone or after BO then select it on your watchlist
7 . Now next day if any stock show momentum u can take trade in it with RM
This looks very easy & simple but,
U will amazed to see it's result if you follow proper risk management.
I did 4x my capital by trading in only momentum stocks.
I will keep sharing such learning thread 🧵 for you 🙏💞🙏
Keep learning / keep sharing 🙏

Python makes it very easy to analyze and visualize time series data when you’re a beginner. It's easier when you don't have to install python on your PC (that's why it's a nano course, you'll learn python...
... on the go). You will not be required to install python in your PC but you will be using an amazing python editor, Google Colab Visit https://t.co/EZt0agsdlV
This course is for anyone out there who is confused, frustrated, and just wants this python/finance thing to work!
In Module 1 of this Nano course, we will learn about :
# Using Google Colab
# Importing libraries
# Making a Random Time Series of Black Field Research Stock (fictional)
# Using Google Colab
Intro link is here on YT: https://t.co/MqMSDBaQri
Create a new Notebook at https://t.co/EZt0agsdlV and name it AnythingOfYourChoice.ipynb
You got your notebook ready and now the game is on!
You can add code in these cells and add as many cells as you want
# Importing Libraries
Imports are pretty standard, with a few exceptions.
For the most part, you can import your libraries by running the import.
Type this in the first cell you see. You need not worry about what each of these does, we will understand it later.
